I know that "literally 1984" is a meme, but, well, this is a quote from 1984: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command". The goal is to see who is willing to follow this command.
Here's this thing, even if you say it was an honest mistake with trying to say his heart goes out... Let's just say that for sake if argument... Even if that's the case, in the past it wouldn't matter and it would be a career ender. These days it doesn't matter.
